DANIEL 10
AN ANGELIC BEING APPEARS BEFORE DANIEL
Daniel spends three weeks mourning and fasting in prayer when an angelic being appears before him. Everyone who is with Daniel runs away in fear, leaving him alone with the divine presence. The angel reassures Daniel, telling him not to be afraid and reminding him that he is greatly loved by God.
The angel explains that he was delayed for three weeks by a spiritual being in Persia, giving Daniel a rare glimpse into the unseen spiritual realm. The angelic messenger mentions Michael, one of the chief angels, who serves as a protector of Israel.
Overwhelmed and speechless in the presence of the angel, Daniel is unable to respond. To strengthen him and give him the courage to speak, the angel touches Daniel, restoring his strength.
